Part of the Shoreditch Festival, Victorian Values sold out it’s two night debut to a delighted musical hall and burlesque audience. On 8th and 9th August, Hoxton Hall (an original Victorian music Hall) in Shoreditch was proud to host the debut production, Victorian Values.

Created, co-written and directed by Kirsty ‘Kitty’ Allan, this full length burlesque show is a play which sends up Victorian Britain’s system of etiquette, morals and ethics. The show stars the very cream of Kittie’s MoBstars and an original score by Mr. Desmond O’Connor.  Kirsty also makes appearances as Britannia and Miss Kitty De Winter-Fairbotham.

Tipped by Time Out as ‘breaking new ground’, this show is arguably the first full length burlesque show in true 19th century style, since Gilbert and Sullivan.
